History

W.H. Riley & Son was founded in North Attleboro, MA in 1873 by William H. Riley and his son Elmer I. Riley to deal coal, wood, straw and building supplies. The company also did furniture moving and teaming of all kinds and was incorporated in 1934. The products and services have changed with the times so that fuel oil, heating and cooling equipment, gasoline, diesel fuel and propane gas have replaced the coal, wood, hay and straw of 1873. In the mid 1930’s the company extended into the Taunton, MA area and present day operations are carried on at 35 Chestnut Street in North Attleboro and 125 Winter Street in Taunton and serve the southeastern Massachusetts area.

Even though the company is now using the most modern computer and communications equipment to streamline operations and offers an array of new and innovative marketing strategies, the commitment to the highest quality products and service that have enabled the company to grow and prosper over the years is still carried on by the present management who are the great, great, great grandchildren of old William H. Riley, which is quite a record in this age of mergers, failures and buyouts.

Home Heating Oil Massachusetts / Heating Oil in MA

W.H. Riley & Son have our own storage tanks at each of our two office locations for fuel oil storage.  This means that unlike many other companies, as a W.H. Riley & Son customer you will never have to worry about a low supply or having to wait in line for a delivery.Just like you, home heating oil systems perform better and last longer when they’re cared for properly. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to do it. HEATDOC™ is a proprietary fuel conditioner that constantly cares for your heating oil system by making sure your fuel is in tip-top shape.  Untreated fuel produces unwanted sediment that when stirred during refill can enter into system components.  HEATDOC™ reduces sediment into microparticles that flow completely through your heating system to a complete burn while improving efficiency.  Sediment build-up in the tank filter can stop the flow of fuel completely or allow sediment particles further into the system. As HEATDOC™ reduces particle size and stabilizes the fuel, it eliminates clogging and ensures no inconvenient emergency service calls.

Heat Doc Enhanced Fuel Oil 

Sediment can eventually reach the burner nozzle, reducing burn efficiency or shutting off the heat completely. HEATDOC™ eliminates nozzle plugging, maintaining maximum burn rate and improved equipment efficiency. HEATDOC™ helps your heating system operate at peak efficiency, which extends equipment life, benefits the environment and saves you money.  With a unique balance of three stabilizers, HEATDOC™ not only keeps  today’s fuel fresh but also improves the latest blends of ultra low and low sulfur biodiesel blends keeping your fuel healthier longer into the future.  HEATDOC™ cleans your heating system by reducing sediment build up that may already be in your tank, pipes, filters, and nozzle.  HEATDOC™ inhibits corrosion and rust in your tank and fuel lines.

Kerosene Delivery Massachusetts

Kerosene is regularly used in smaller heating applications.  It burns cleaner due to its refining process and is less likely to gel in an outdoor tank like heating oil can.  The cloud point is the temperature at which the flow of the fuel through piping and equipment begins to be affected as the fuel begins to “gel” or “wax”  and in fact, Kerosene has a lower cloud point than No. 2 home heating oil:
